    I saw no flaws in this poem. The style was unique, I thought you picked a really good one and it fit the poem pretty well. The repetition was nice, I thought the lines that were repeated worked very well. Word choice was wonderful.. some of my favorite lines with good word choice were:

    "Just as if it were a menacing bug crawling"
    `Menacing was a really unique here...

    "it sends those bothersome shivers up your spine"
    `This was another great line that stuck out to me. Bothersome - great word to describe those shivers that go up your spine.

    Wonderful write. There's not a thing that I could see improved. Vocabulary was mostly simple but definatly well written. 5/5.

    I like this piece alot I have not seen this style of poetry before but after reading your piece I am going to attempt it I like theam as it represents a much bigger matter. the loss of hope and faith in our world.

    This was so great Bree. I absolutly loved every single reference, like about the bugs! lol it was creative and extremely noticable:)

    The cross lays on the ground, dirty
    it's stepped on by everyone who passes
    It matters not, now that she's gone
    dead along with her hope and faith

    ^^This was the perfect beginning because it drew me in as soon as I read the first stanza. I absolutly loved this. There is nothing for my to criticize. It was perfect!!

    Excellent write!

    Hey! Here goes

    First Stanza:

    "The cross lays on the ground, dirty
    it's stepped on by everyone who passes
    It matters not, now that she's gone
    dead along with her hope and faith"

    - Love the wording in this, and love the fact that there are no unimportant fillers used.

    Favourite line: "It matters not, now that she's gone"

    ^ enjoyed this one, as it sounds really sophisticated. =]

    Second Stanza:

    "It's stepped on by everyone who passes
    just as if it were a menacing bug crawling
    Dead along with her hope and faith
    and the blood still stains the sidewalk"

    - Use of metaphors, excellent. and the use of the 'blood stain' on the side walk. very well done.

    Favourite line: "dead long with her hope and faith"

    ^ enjoyed this one! as it shows the death present, and that her hope and faith are also gone, too... very well done. =]

    Third Stanza:

    "Just as if it were a menacing bug crawling
    it sends those bothersome shivers up your spine
    And the blood still stains the sidewalk
    but not one person even notices anymore"

    - Menacing bug... well done! haha. and the shivers. its giving me shivers as it is! =]
    And the blood still stains the sidewalk. also good!

    Favourite line: "but not one person notices anymore"

    ^ really makes me sad, but it is well used! =]

    Fourth Stanza:

    "It sends those bothersome shivers up your spine
    makes you remember the day it took place
    But not one person even notices anymore
    'cause now she's dead along with her hope and faith"

    - Ahh very well done. Really sad. loved the way the poem in set out!

    Favourite line: "'cause now she's dead along with her hope and faith"

    ^ maybe because its the same as above, but i realllly like this line! =]

    Poem Conclusion:

    Very well done! Loved it. made me really sad, but also loved the set out! Well done for your first time with this style of poems!
    Aced it! =]

    Also, a 5/5 and a vote! =]

    Well done!

    The poem was good it had some great visuals but it was rather resunant and lead to really the same thing. I think if you said alittle bit more about the emotions or the surroundings the work would have a more powerful appeal to it just a thought keep trying. Plot121

    The rhyme scheme for a Pantoum is AbAb which you have not adhered to in this attempt. I agree with Rikki that you should not begin a line with And. It is an unnecessary filler word.
